Danger: Town Halls Ahead!

Today, though I am an Independent and not associated with a political party, I saw a Republican Town Hall meeting scheduled on Facebook. I responded, “I have never felt ashamed of the United States until now. That dates back before Vietnam.” A short while later I saw the Town Hall was cancelled due to “conflicts in schedule.”

Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr’s quote from Amos applies today:
According to the King Center, the civil rights leader went to jail 29 times. He was arrested for acts of civil disobedience and on trumped-up charges, such as when he was jailed in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1956 for driving 30 miles per hour in a 25-mile-per-hour zone.
Last month I put my hands on the cold steel bars of the jail cell at the Civil Rights Memorial Center, Montgomery, Alabama, that recreated the jail that held Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Birmingham. What struck me was the small slot that a meal on a tin plate might be shoved through and the stark cement that could not imprison his bright light.
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.
